What Ilogs Need.
Hog troughs vh•Auld be arranged
so they van be quickly and thor-
oughly cleaned and ail feed left
1)2 431 removed.
It is a good itractiee to have thu?
vater troughs made so they can be
emptied as soon as the bogs have
drunk their fill., as this prevents
troughs from becoming filthy by the
hogs walking and rooting in thein.
Hogs need a moderate am,aunt 01
salt, but if it is pla,ced in large
quantities where they can reach it
at all times occasionally they will
ea•t more than is good for them.
Never send a- sow hungry to bed
any more than you would a boy. A
'heavy feed at night will help to
keep up the heat.
After experience with both per-
manent hog houses, and small port-
able shelters that can be readily
moved from piaee to place, the
writer ,considers i7he small colony
house much superior, so far as
maintaining the health of the swinc,-
